Nhair
Conny can’t get her garden to grow. She’s tried everything, but all that’s there is soil. And honestly? It’s starting to piss her off. Couple that with a struggling career, a less-than-thrilling sex life, and being a small, broke, chubby girl in her twenties, and Conny’s having a pretty sh*t time. Oh. And she’s also really hairy.
Conny Hancock and Greedy Pig Theatre Company join forces for a hilarious, empowering and brutally honest ode to self-love in this R&D of ‘Nhair’, coming to Sparkfest 2021.
The performance will be followed by a Q&A.

Painting by Numbers
Three incompetent painters – Isaac, Piotr and Damien – challenge each other to create a masterpiece, with the winner having their method of painting declared the best. But soon, cracks start to show, and paint begins to spill. In their efforts to win (through ANY means necessary), they will tear their work, the stage, and each other apart… with disastrous (and hilarious) consequences.
Prepare yourself for exhilarating paint fights, riotous dance routines and unforgettable high stakes LIVE painting!

The Wave
The ship, Wave Goodbye to Your Sanity, has been lost at sea for weeks, or perhaps it is years? Crewed by three buffoonish, broken, musical playing sailors, they need your help on a journey of incredible highs and sudden lows as they battle against the stormy seas. Brought alive through sea shanty, drums, guitars, harpsichords, and song. An adventure for all the family, as we sail over madness and wave goodbye to our sanity. Come join us aboard our ship, climb the rigging, have water-fights, throw colour bombs, light flares, stamp the floor, sing your heart out and let the mayhem be unleashed! An enticing tale of mistaken identity, heartfelt romance, and the endearing fumbles and foibles of love.
Funded by Arts Council England.
